If you will excuse the
indulgence, I’d to share with you some feedback received from one of my
learners on a workshop I ran at the recent Thame Arts and Literature Festival.
It was my third appearance at this event and I was looking forward to inspiring
and motivating new writers.
And what an enthusiastic group they were!
They listened, eagerly contributed
to discussions, took notes and generally allowed their imaginations to run
riot. Ooh, we had such fun. And as if ‘Thank you’s’ at the end of our packed
two hour session weren’t enough, one delightful learner emailed me a day or two
later saying she'd been intending for years to start writing and had enjoyed the workshop so much she was now bursting with
enthusiasm and creativity.
I tell you, such accolades
truly inspire me.
You see, it just proves that
however long you spend thinking about writing, it counts for nothing unless you
actually crack on with it. So join a writers’ group, attend courses and set
yourself goals. In fact, do whatever it takes to activate those creative juices.
And on that note, I have one or
two ideas I need to work on . . .
